"If there is a late-stage spiritual disciple, it should undoubtedly be the Black Spirit Envoy. Did this person self-destruct before his death?" Hu Chunniang said with a sneer.
"It is true that he died by self-destruction! Why is there something weird about this black spirit envoy?" Liu Ming asked with a slightly moved expression.
"I don't know too much about it. I only know that the dozen or so black spirit envoys of the Black Spirit Society are all late-stage spiritual disciples, and once they encounter a strong enemy and cannot be defeated, they will self-destruct and die together with the strong enemy. But it happened not long ago
Later, a black spirit messenger with the same number will appear again in the Black Spirit Association." The young woman said gloomily.
"Is there such an evil thing?" Liu Ming was surprised when he heard this.
"Hey, if it weren't for that. When the Black Spirit Society first appeared in Xuanjing, how could they seize such a large territory from several other major forces at once, and it has been shaking Xuanjing to this day." Hu Chunniang regained her composure.
said.
"Okay, Senior Sister, can you tell me now how to know that Black Spirit will take action against the new envoy of our sect." Liu Ming pondered for a moment and then asked.
"Because someone in the Black Spirit Society was bribed by me. Unfortunately, his status in the Black Spirit Society was too low. Based on the clues he provided, I later deduced that the previous envoy of your sect was killed by the Black Spirit Society. It is said that
In that battle, the Black Spirit Society sent out two envoys to uproot all the people who stayed behind in Xiao Qingguan after you took office." Hu Chunniang replied calmly.
"Senior Sister, do you know why the Black Spirit Society would attack me when I took office? I don't believe that without a special reason, a mere casual cultivator organization in the Black Spirit Society would dare to offend our Barbarian Ghost Sect." Liu Ming nodded and asked again.
.
"Before I answer, junior brother, I should tell you how you knew that the source of Xuanjing's turmoil lies in the royal family, right?" the young woman asked calmly.
"It's very simple. A court official I accidentally rescued told some secrets about the current emperor." Liu Ming replied without hesitation.
"Are you talking about the current emperor Xuanzhi?" Hu Chunniang's face changed slightly when she heard this.
"Yes, he is indeed the nominal owner of Xuanjing." Liu Ming replied.
"Okay, I am becoming more and more interested in the news about my junior brother. The reason why you were killed when you took office. According to my investigation, it was because the Black Spirit Society got wind of it. It seems that you discovered some major secret of the Black Spirit Society when you took office.
, was silenced." The young woman's eyes began to shine, but she spoke quickly.
"Being silenced because of a secret? It seems that the secret discovered by my previous senior brother must be no small matter." Liu Ming said thoughtfully.
"Hey, that's probably it. But you don't have to ask me what the secret is, I don't know anything about it. Now, I want to know what the official said about Emperor Xuanzhi's secret!" Hu Chunniang finally asked.
Now comes the most important question.
"The secret is that Xuanzhi is no longer a human race, and may have even been swapped." Liu Ming replied slowly.
"What, how is this possible!" Hu Chunniang first shrank her pupils and took a breath.
"What, did Senior Sister Hu get any wind of this? Then what did Senior Sister suspect about the imperial court before?" Liu Ming asked calmly.
"Humph, the reason why I doubt the imperial court is actually the old monsters in the royal family and the few Jin Lingke commanders in the imperial court." The young woman's face remained uncertain for a while before she replied reluctantly.
"Senior sister is talking about the cultivators trained by the royal family themselves and the few Jin Lingke ministers in the Dzogchen realm! Why is this?" Liu Ming was a little surprised.
"Because these people suddenly went into seclusion at the same time, and after they went into seclusion, the entire court suddenly became weird. Not only did they no longer restrain the major forces in Xuanjing, but they also had no regard for what the princes and princes did.
Without asking, they all went crazy to recruit non-local cultivators and worked hard to expand their own power. This is why the whole Xuanjing became so chaotic!" the young woman said with a sigh.
"If this is the case, there is indeed something fishy about these royal cultivators and Commander Jin Lingke." Liu Ming suddenly realized.
"That court official won't say anything, so junior brother can just believe whatever he said. What was his original statement? What evidence is there?" Hu Chunniang asked again solemnly.
"The original words are very long. When I first asked, I made several copies of his words with phonetic notes for future reference. As for other evidence? After reading it, Senior Sister Hu understood."
Liu Ming said calmly, and with one flip of his hand, a pale white talisman appeared between his fingers. He waved it in the wind, and with a "pop" sound, it turned into a fierce flame and spontaneously ignited.
At this time, Master Sun's voice immediately came out from the fire.
'Since Mr. Qian has rescued me from prison, this secret that has been hidden in Sun's heart for a long time will naturally be revealed. However, after I tell this secret, I will never dare to stay in Xuanjing any longer. So I still
I hope that after the great event of the Immortal Master, he can be with the next family..."
In just one cup of tea, the firelight copied all the words Liu Ming! Master Glaze had spoken that day, word for word! In the end, the light shrank and completely dissipated.
"It turned out to be such a thing. In this way, those royal cultivators and Jin Lingkeqing who led the retreat are most likely related to this inhumane Emperor Xuanzhi. If so, most of the things can be said.
OK. The junior brother must have got the demon scale he mentioned. Can you let me take a look?" Hu Chunniang murmured to herself, and then asked Liu Ming with a hint of nervousness.
"Of course there is no problem. Junior brother is trying to use the experience of senior sister to determine what kind of monster this demon lin comes from." Liu Ming naturally had no reason to disagree. After nodding, he took out a small jade box from his sleeve and opened it.
After opening it, the light blue scale was lying quietly inside.
Hu Chunniang took the jade box, carefully took out the scales, and inspected it carefully with gleaming eyes.
But after a while, the woman shook her head and put the scales back into the jade box, and returned them to Liu Ming and said:
"I'm so ashamed that I can't identify the origin of these scales. But as my junior brother said, there is no doubt that Xuanzhi is an inhuman existence. However, this matter is important, and this point alone is enough to summon
I’m afraid the words from within the sect are far from enough.”
"I thought so too. That's why I didn't spread the word about this matter. Otherwise, if there were any mistakes, I would have made a lot of mistakes before my credit was established." Liu Ming looked in agreement.
"Junior brother is very mature in dealing with things. Let's put this matter down for now, and try our best to get more evidence separately, and then report it to the sect. This way, everything will be safe!" the young woman said after thinking about it.
"Since this matter involves the current royal family and the imperial court, it is definitely not something that supervisory disciples like you and me can handle alone. As long as we have enough evidence, we can hand over everything to the sect." Liu Ming nodded.
.
"Okay. But if we really want to get good evidence, I'm afraid we have to get in touch with Emperor Xuanzhi. In half a month, there will be a grand sacrificial ceremony for the royal family. The guy I am nominally surrendering to now will also join the palace. I will definitely do it by then.
He will take me with him. Then I will take action again and see if I can find some evidence in the palace." The young woman suddenly remembered something and said.
"Senior Sister Hu is nominally taking refuge with..." Liu Ming was startled for a moment, but then he immediately reacted and asked. "It's the current seventh prince, an arrogant guy." The young woman curled her lips and said.
"Seventh Prince, if there is a grand ceremony for the royal family, they will indeed enter the palace. However, in this case, the palace must be heavily guarded. Would it be too dangerous for senior sister to sneak into the palace to collect evidence..." Liu Ming thought for a moment.
Finally, I still looked a little worried.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cub! But if Junior Brother feels uneasy, why not try to sneak into the palace with me. If Junior Brother is with you, Senior Sister will be completely relieved." The young woman said with a giggle.
"Forget it. I'm just a guest in Bailingju in name only. I'm afraid I won't be able to sneak into the palace now." Liu Mingyi said with a grin.
"Junior brother, are you planning to get close to the third prince who has a close relationship with Bailingju?" Hu Chunniang asked after her smile faded.
"I do have this plan. If I can get close to the Third Prince, it shouldn't be difficult for me to enter the palace in the future. What, is there something wrong with it?" Liu Ming immediately heard what he meant and frowned.
He said with a frown.
"Although I don't have very definite evidence, this third prince is very special. I suspect that he may have some kind of relationship with the Black Spirit?" The young woman hesitated for a while before saying with some uncertainty.
"What, does it have anything to do with Black Spirit?" Even though Liu Ming had always been calm, he couldn't help but be startled after hearing this.
"Yes. The person I bribed has seen the Black Spirit Messenger entering and exiting the Third Prince's Mansion several times. Moreover, since the Black Spirit Society appeared in Xuanjing, the Third Prince has been deeply immersed in society over the years and has rarely appeared in front of others.
In addition, some casual cultivators have been recruited into the Three Princes' Mansion in recent years, but some of them have never been seen again. The rather suspicious young woman said seriously.
"Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me. I understand what to do." Liu Ming's face remained uncertain for a while before he let out a long breath.
"I also believe that with Junior Brother Qian's intelligence, he will have no problem dealing with this matter." Hu Chunniang said with a chuckle.
"By the way, does Senior Sister Hu know about the situation of the supervisory disciples of the other three sects? Do you still need to talk to them about this matter?" Liu Ming asked as he remembered something again.
"Those three losers! If Junior Brother Qian doesn't want to be surrounded and killed suddenly like your predecessor, you'd better give up this idea." When the young woman heard this, her face was full of sarcasm.
